Former Georgia Bulldogs center Clay Webb was named a second-team All-American by USA TODAY. Webb, who plays offensive guard for the Jacksonville State Gamecocks, is a former five-star recruit. Webb joined the Georgia football program in 2019. He stuck with the Bulldogs for a few seasons before transferring after the 2021 season. In 2022, Webb started in seven games for Jacksonville State. The 6-foot-3, 290-pound offensive guard showed significant improvement the following season. Webb’s 2023 season ended with him being named first-team Conference USA. He anchored a Gamecocks offensive line that set a Conference USA record of 522 rushing yards against Louisiana Tech. Webb has a good chance to be selected in the 2025 NFL draft.
